I am NCP with EOW (Fri after school to Sun 7pm) and Weds overnights.
D6's 1st grade homework is starting. It is handed out Fridays, due Thursdays. It's minimal - maybe 10 minutes daily, or 1 hour in one sitting.
I proposed that whoever picks D6 up for the weekend is responsible for the homework that week, so that D6 doesn't need to do homework twice.
Mother disagrees, and demands that I must give the homework (completed or not) to her at handover on Sunday evenings so that she can review/complete.
I disagree, since this takes away a day of available time for homework, and gives D6 the message that Mom is the homework authority.
The kicker: the school (chosen by Mom) is French, and I have recently lost at trial a bid to move her to French Immersion, as my french is very basic. The judge said I can hire a tutor.
I am willing to do whatever is necessary (no choice, really) to ensure D6 has appropriate support in her homework.
I have a good relationship with the teacher, and other parents - very involved in the school (though due to language I am not allowed to be an official parent council member).
Any thoughts on how to proceed?
